Robert Reich Our Economy Is in Danger. Here’s Why

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Mark Kelly: "I would like to see a lot of my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate speak out about this, because this is right after Charlie Kirk's assassination."

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act.

Jon Stewart and I agree:

AI must work for everybody, not just a handful of billionaires.

CDC backpedals on vaccines and autism, despite earlier assurances from RFK Jr. The CDC, under the direction of an unqualified health secretary, is now promoting claims that flunk Logic 101.

In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…”

Crow: "Speaker Johnson has not reached out to me, which frankly is very unfortunate, that the speaker of the House wouldn't respond to this and take this very seriously. In fact, he seems to have joined in the chorus of disinformation."

Jeffries: "What's extraordinary to me is that Mike Johnson doesn't even have the decency to distance himself from Donald Trump's death threats leveled at patriotic members of Congress. Even John Thune had the decency to distance himself from Trump's remarks. But Mike Johnson couldn't say a thing."

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.

And if you've previously picked a side, you don't have to stay there. Whatever you may have thought Trump was, he's proven his unfit. Let's be pro-democracy now. We can go back to party politics when we get through this.

The lame duck dictatorship Trump is fighting his "war within" on multiple fronts and losing them all.

"Not since Watergate has a president so intently focused on, and risked his political capital by, keeping a set of documents secret. Being repeatedly confronted with stark evidence he was actually at the side of Epstein is causing a political fissure Trump cannot undo." — @davidrlurie.bsky.social
